Play DeQuoter Online
You type famous quotes letter by letter as they flash on screen—one wrong key and they vanish, leaving you scrambling to keep up with the next one. That old-school keyboard clatter and screen flicker make every keystroke feel urgent.
Game Overview
DeQuoter is one of those weird little MS-DOS games that somehow gets its hooks into you. You're staring at this chunky pixel font, famous quotes flash up one after another, and suddenly you're hammering away at your keyboard like it's a high-stakes typing duel. Miss a letter or take too long? That quote disappears forever—and your score takes a hit.
The sound design alone is pure nostalgia—those tinny beeps when you nail a quote, the way the screen flickers when time's running out. It shouldn't be this tense typing Shakespeare under pressure, but here we are. I still remember getting stuck on a Churchill quote for way too long because my fingers refused to cooperate.
Modern games could learn something from how effortlessly this gets your heart racing. You'll either love it or walk away muttering misquoted lines to yourself. Either way, it leaves an impression.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
